What are standard reporting obligations to DFPS by the LCPAA administrator?

• A. Only annual financial reports.
• B. Non-confidential incident summaries.
• C. Reports submitted only upon DFPS request.
• D. Timely reporting of incidents, abuse/neglect, missing children, and significant policy or procedure violations; maintain incident log; submit required quarterly/annual reports.

Answer: (D)

The question is testing the full scope of what an LCPAA administrator must report to DFPS. The best answer reflects a proactive, comprehensive duty: promptly reporting incidents, abuse or neglect, missing children, and any significant policy or procedure violations; keeping a detailed incident log; and submitting the required quarterly and annual reports. This combination ensures DFPS has timely, credible information, a traceable record of events, and regular accountability documentation.

Why the other options don’t fit: reporting is not limited to annual financials, so only annual financial reports miss critical safety concerns and ongoing oversight. Non-confidential incident summaries omit timely notices and the full range of required information, as well as the incident log and regular reports. Reporting only upon DFPS request ignores the duty to provide proactive, timely information and ongoing compliance updates.
